There should be no chants of “Fire Fisher” anymore. In fact, no one should even bother booing the Knicks for the rest of this season. Heck, even the group of fans that showed up at the Garden Thursday night with paper bags over their heads should consider recycling. Save your breath and your bags for a time when it matters.

Yes, the Garden was sold out for the Knicks’ latest defeat, a 120-96 to the Rockets, that extended their club-record losing streak to 14 games. For the remainder of the season, the World’s Most Famous Arena will be filled with tourists and corporate types who will cheer the Knicks for the sake of novelty and support those left to play out this year of irrelevance. But caring about wins and losses is a waste of energy given the organization has shown it no longer cares about wins and losses this season, either.

Trading Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith this week to Cleveland and Tyson Chandler during the offseason has gutted the Knicks of some of their most valuable assets without getting much other than cap space in return. With Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony sidelined by injuries, the Knicks fielded a roster Thursday night against the Rockets that wasn’t much above a D-League team.

The Knicks trailed by five after the first quarter and by 14 at halftime. They were never really competitive in the second half. Now 5-34, the Knicks aren’t offering any hope things will get better anytime soon. Once again, fans are being asked to wait at least one more year before the cap space can be utilized and the right players can be acquired to fit what head coach Derek Fisher and team president Phil Jackson envision. “We’re confident that as we go forward in this we’ll be able to find the right guys to build with,” Fisher said before Thursday night’s game.

There were faint chants of “Fire Fisher” during the previous Garden gathering on Sunday when the Knicks lost to Milwaukee and there were a few boos heard Thursday night. They are voices of frustration over this season of transition. But Fisher is about the only person with the exception of Anthony who isn’t going anywhere. In fact, if there’s any positive in all this aside from the cap space, it’s that Fisher gets a chance to learn how to be a head coach while the Knicks are rebuilding.

After a career of knowing mostly success and championships as a player, he’s learning how to lead and teach in the midst of constant change and adversity. It should serve him well in the future if he can survive.

“You learn from all your experiences,” Fisher said. “Mistakes, failures, adversity can be the best teacher. At least in my past as player and in other areas I’ve tried to utilize those experiences and grow from them and get better from them. Whatever arc my coaching career takes, I’ll be much better from everything I’ve experienced so far.”

Time will tell whether Fisher’s arc with the Knicks is short-term or long-term, but that won’t be settled this season. Fisher becomes a babysitter of sorts, teaching the triangle offense to players who probably won’t be part of the roster next season.

Thursday’s starting lineup of Jose Calderon, Tim Hardaway Jr., Pablo Prigioni, Jason Smith and Cole Aldrich isn’t exactly among the best the NBA has to offer. But it’s all the Knicks have for now and the near future.

At least the Knicks aren’t wishy-washy anymore. For too many years they’ve tried to rebuild the team while trying to pretend they were still competing for a championship. Sometimes a building has to be torn down before it can be rebuilt into something state of the art.

“It’s not easy to build a team,” Fisher said. “We’re always trying to find that balance between talent, character, mental toughness, physical toughness, experience and coach-ability. But there’s no guarantee it works out with all that assessment.”
